Re: Oracle on OpenVMS or Unix

David,

[Quoted] [Quoted] you are right in saying that "NT was originally written by one of the team [Quoted] that developed and coded VMS" and to-day I still don`t understand why the NT [Quoted] OS is so messy. 3rd party vendors on the VMS OS NEVER overwrite system stuff [Quoted] (DLL`s in NT) making the system or other applications crash after you [Quoted] install something. Why do they do it on NT? It would be a lot more stable if [Quoted] that practice would be stopped. Let the vendors use the system libraries, [Quoted] not modify them.
